Eusung Lee asks about the nature of the body and the space surrounding it, digs through the gaps buried in the thick of time with the characteristics of physical sculptures, and forms an empty space. She places a drawing or doodled human body image on a sculpture that casts a ‘relaxed’ whole body or part of the body on a ruin like ground. Rather than a closed moment when familiar symbols and common physical properties melt into the body, the work also absorbs and penetrates the surrounding landscape through the loosened and stretched empty symbols. Angel (on construction), woven from under construction or constructed aluminum, asks how demanding it is to imagine the image of an ‘angel’ on this planet.
